"I Knew a Woman"Theodore RoethkeI knew a woman, lovely in her bones,When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:The shapes a bright container can contain!Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,Or English poets who grew up on Greek(I’d have them sing in a chorus, cheek to cheek).How well her wishes went! She stroked my chin,She taught me Turn, and Counter-turn, and Stand;She taught me Touch, that undulant white skin;I nibbled meekly from her proferred hand;She was the sickle; I, poor I, the rake,Coming behind her for her pretty sake(But what prodigious mowing we did make).Love likes a gander, and adores a goose:Her full lips pursed, the errant notes to sieze;She played it quick, she played it light and loose;My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees;Her several parts could keep a pure repose,Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose(She moved in circles, and those circles moved).Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:I’m martyr to a motion not my own;What’s freedom for? To know eternity.I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.But who would count eternity in days?These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:(I measure time by how a body sways).
